Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Funny I didn't see the same with the ChineseSpent a lovely couple of weeks going round China on a lecture circuit and they were suprisingly different. Humanitarian I think is the word.
Maybe it's because I is a little older than when I was in Japan (just a mere whipper snapper* back then) - or perhaps they succeeded in completely pulling the wool over my eyes, the sneaky buggers ;-)
*Appologies for the term "whipper snapper" I'm sure it's dreadfully non PC if you dig hard enough.
